The Dark side ...of the splash

-rainy days but today and without good camera...

-this one is a step up for a customer who wants hold and better take off with similar outline config of the smaller board.I made large, thin, swept back fins, like the ones Bushman uses.Reduced the cant, changed the tail outline, changed the bottom in the tail area, changed the deck (flat now), changed the rocker, put more meat under chest

2 plus 1 mini egg

...in this one I put the sidebites a bit forward due to the action intended and the back foot of the rider; the back outline is not too curvy; the thickness in the tail is very thin; the rails are 60/40s semifull to boxy sharp on tail; low entry rocker to heavy rockered on tail; gloss finish on deck speed finish bottom

All boards are 100% handcrafted since mid ´80s by one person from start to finish; including silk screening, fins and everything in between.
Only functional tested shapes not trendy boards on works. The norm is to discontinue the templates that do not perform as expected.
